Politics and Policy With a Punch

After losing her bid for San Jose Mayor in 2014 and her bid for State Assembly in 2016, Madison Nguyen isn’t giving up on elected office. This time she has her eye on County Supervisor Dave Cortese’s seat. Cortese isn’t termed out until 2020, but Nguyen is wasting no time campaigning. She’s already making the rounds and asking for support. As the head of the non-profit Hunger at Home, Nguyen will have to be careful not to mix work with politics, but her non-profit gig apparently gives her plenty of time to campaign on the side.
